Ingredients
- 3 or 4 sweet potatoes (orange-fleshed, yellow, white, or a mix; about 3 lbs. total)
- About 1/3 cup virgin coconut oil*, divided
- About 1/2 tsp. medium-coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds mixed with a few white sesame seeds
- Flaky sea salt*
Instructions
- Scrub sweet potatoes, then chop into cubes a scant 1 in. across.
- Warm 1/4 cup oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes, turn to coat, and season with a few pinches of sea salt.
- Cover pan, turn heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring every now and then, until sweet potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast sesame seeds in a frying pan (not nonstick) over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until aromatic and the white seeds are golden.
- Serve sweet potatoes drizzled with remaining oil and sprinkled with flaky sea salt and sesame seeds.
- *Find at well-stocked grocery stores and natural-foods stores. For flaky sea salt, any kind will work; a good one is buttery Jacobsen sea salt, made in Oregon (jacobsensalt. com).
